ladies' have conscientiously performed the
duties assigned them, and through the mis-
sion have relieved much suffering.
1t is not the object of the City Mission
to make paupers Of the poor, but aid them
by giving them work. Yet there has been
a great deal of actual charity dispensed

demand upon the Overseer of the Poor,
but who can be relieved by the City Mis-
sion. Many Of these worthy people are
not willing to receive charity, but are glad
to receive aid in the way of work. This
the Mission has not been able to do to the
extent required. but much needed work
has been done, and it is the duty OF our
citizens generally to contribute in every
way possible to the support of the Mission
in its praiseworthy and Christian under
taking.
